Journal ArticleDOI
Active formation of ‘chaos terrain’ over shallow subsurface water on Europa
TL;DR: An analysis of archival data from Europa is guided by processes observed within Earth's subglacial volcanoes and ice shelves and suggests that ice–water interactions and freeze-out give rise to the diverse morphologies and topography of chaos terrains.

TL;DR: Dawn observations confirm the large impact basin at Vesta's south pole and reveal evidence for an earlier, underlying large basin (Veneneia), underscoring Vesta’s unique role as a transitional solar system body.

TL;DR: To map out a coherent Ocean Worlds Program, significant input is required from studies here on Earth; rigorous Research and Analysis studies are called for to enable some future ocean worlds missions to be thoughtfully planned and undertaken.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is proposed that hydrated salts with low eutectic temperatures and low thermal conductivities enabled the presence of cryomagmatic liquids within Ceres, a key process for Ceres’ evolution as recorded by the aqueously altered, secondary minerals observed on the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Crater morphology and the simple-to-complex crater transition indicate that Ceres’ outer shell is likely neither pure ice nor pure rock but an ice-rock mixture that allows for limited relaxation.
